Well it has applied to today. My Mistress thought she had everything covered. She had change for the station car park. Alan was ready and waiting. All his paperwork was in order ready. Then when she tried to set off for the station to collect his new owners the car wouldn\u2019t start. It\u2019s the first time in its life that has happened. Obviously there will be a boring technical explanation, but I think the car is emotional. What I\u2019m not sure of is whether it had got particularly attached to Alan, despite his being sick in the car on the way back from the vet the other day or whether it is because we are cleaning it up ready for sale. Never let your car know that it will be pensioned off, it will rebel and in the most awkward of circumstances.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5560\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5560\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Alan-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5560\" title=\"Alan 002\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Alan-002-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So today we have a spot the difference competition.
